   Could be the OP jus wanted to alert the problem  (?)  That is my 
purpose too, an what work around works.

   When I run across deps that --skip-broken fails on, I use this 
script.  It use to be on some yum page (tips'n tricks ?) but 
disappeared when the skip-broken (which often doesn't) plugin came 
out.

#!/bin/sh

 for i in `yum list updates |cut -f 1 -d " " |grep -A 500 -e 
Updated |\
   (the above line should all be on one line)

 grep -v -e Updated` ; do
       echo "Updating $i"
       yum -y update $i

   After savin it as 'yumnd' in my ~/bin dir, I made it executable. 
Runnin 'yumnd' (as root) got all the updates. I use it 
after  'yum --skip-broken upgrade' fails, specially since all the 
d/l'g is already done.
